Chapter Ninety-Six: Want Revenge?
Mrs. Liu was slightly stunned, "This ......"
The king of Chu grabbed Xue Jinyi's hand, "Don't hide it from Mrs. Liu, fortunately the eldest princess matched, this king and Jinyi have the feeling of seeing each other late, except for sleeping at night, they are reluctant to leave for a moment." ”
What does this love say...... Xue Jinyi glanced at King Chu, who could believe that King Chu would say such a thing?
But the King of Chu, who has always been cold-faced and silent, just said it, which made his credibility soar.
"......" Mrs. Liu felt distressed, thinking that her daughter should have promised a good match, but it was because of ...... At a young age, the girl stayed in the village village like a nun.
was embarrassed in the eldest princess's mansion, and was exposed to "vicious" thoughts, so many people saw it, although there was no discussion in the capital on the surface, who didn't secretly watch Liu Zaifu's jokes? Which family would allow such a daughter-in-law to get started, and they look down on low-income households, and the daughter has no future at all!
"Mrs. Liu, is it okay?" The king of Chu couldn't wait for an answer and spoke again.
Mrs. Liu came back to her senses, the king of Chu was going, how dare she refuse? I had to cheer up, got up and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please." ”
The King of Chu took Xue Jinyi's hand, looked affectionately close to her face, and whispered, "Follow me." ”
The warm breath of his breath sprayed on his cheek, and Xue Jinyi secretly poked him with her elbow.
The king of Chu retreated a little funny.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Liu, everyone came to the small garden, the place is not big, but the layout is fresh and elegant, there are no gorgeous pavilions, but a piece of flowers that bloom just right, woven into a gorgeous painting.
Xue Jinyi walked all the way, the most conspicuous thing in Liu's Mansion was this garden, and other places looked quite simple, a little bit like a mansion in a dignified house.
So before Liu Yingying's accident, the reputation of the Liu family had always been good, and Liu Yingying's father could sit in the position of supervising the imperial history.
However, these should have nothing to do with her now, not to mention that Mrs. Liu in front of her is holding hatred and planning to avenge her daughter.
Mrs. Liu pointed to a few peach trees in the southeast corner, "This is what my father planted when he was young, and every year after the peaches are born, except for a little to eat, they are used to make wine." I asked the maid to bring some peach wine, and invite His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Miss Xue to taste it? ”
As soon as she raised her hand, a maid brought her a plate with three celadon wine glasses and a pot of wine.
Mrs. Liu poured wine for them with her own hands, "...... This peach wine tastes sweet, not intoxicating, I dare to say that there is no better peach wine in the entire capital than my Liu family. ”
Xue Jinyi calmly watched Mrs. Liu's every move, and pinched the sachet on her waist with her fingers.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Miss Xue, please try it, if you like it, I will ask someone to take a few bottles, and you can bring them back so that the eldest princess can also taste them." Mrs. Liu was very enthusiastic and brought the wine glass to Xue Jinyi and the King of Chu.
Xue Jinyi didn't answer, yawned, and said with a little shyness: "I'm sorry, I got up too early today, and I was a little tired from running around all morning, which made Mrs. Liu smile." ”
Mrs. Liu sneered in her heart.
Oh, after all, she is the eldest lady of the Weiguo Mansion who was once hated by everyone, and there is a saying that "the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change", and no matter how much she pretends to be a human now, she can't change her previous vulgarity.
She said with concern on her face, "Miss Xue, do you want to rest here for a while?" ”
"Then take a break while you wait for the bookkeeper." Xue Jinyi said: "Thank you Mrs. Liu for your concern." ”
Mrs. Liu stuffed the wine glass into Xue Jinyi's hand, "Miss Xue has the trust of the eldest princess at a young age, and she is running around for the imperial court, this talent and courage are really admirable." Where is it like my family, pampered and willful, spoiled by us......"
This is the first time since Xue Jinyi stepped into Liu's mansion that she has heard Mrs. Liu mention Liu Yingying.
Her face was calm, as if she had accepted it.
"What am I doing here," Mrs. Liu looked directly at Xue Jinyi and the wine glass in her hand, "We can't help Miss Xue, here, I apologize to Miss Xue." ”
With that, she picked up the rest of the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
She is like this, Xue Jinyi and King Chu are not good at drinking.
Xue Jinyi raised the wine glass, raised her eyes to look at the King of Chu, her eyebrows suddenly bent, she glanced at the King of Chu with a deep smile, and then drank the peach blossom wine in the cup in one gulp before he spoke.
Sure enough, it is a good wine, the wine is not spicy, it is very gentle, with the sweetness of peaches.
"How's it taste, Miss Xue?" Mrs. Liu smiled a little grimly.
"It's delicious," Xue Jinyi blinked twice, raised a hand and pressed it on the corner of her forehead, "I feel ......"
"Do you feel a little dizzy?" Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to ask.
Xue Jinyi nodded, "...... Maybe I can't even drink a drop of wine......"
Her voice gradually lowered, her eyes blinked slowly a few times, and then she couldn't open them, and her body fell limply.
In the exclamation of Mrs. Liu, the King of Chu stretched out his hand and held Xue Jinyi steadily.
"I'm really embarrassed," Mrs. Liu was a little anxious, "The ladies in our family all love to drink peach wine, and only occasionally someone gets drunk with a glass, so I didn't pay attention to it, and I thought that this wine would not do anything to Miss Xue." ”
She seemed to be a little flustered, and the mother in charge next to her hurriedly reminded: "Madam, let's hurry up and let Miss Xue go to the house to rest, and then ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of sobering soup to make Miss Xue more comfortable." ”
"Good, good." Mrs. Liu came back to her senses and hurriedly led the King of Chu and them to the nearest courtyard.
The king of Chu put Xue Jinyi on the soft couch and pulled the quilt to cover her.
She seemed to be really drunk, and there was a faint crimson on her cheeks, which was actually a little cute.
He couldn't help but look at it twice, and then heard Mrs. Liu speak.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I asked the maid to serve Miss Xue, right? Although you and Miss Xue have been married by the emperor, they are not yet married, and the difference between men and women is somewhat inconvenient. While Miss Xue is resting, let's discuss the matter of donations, and we won't waste time, right? ”
King Chu looked at Xue Jinyi again, her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be sleeping so well that she couldn't even wake up from thunder.
Seeing that he still didn't move, Mrs. Liu urged a little anxiously: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, don't you and Miss Xue have to rush to the next place?" ”
King Chu's gaze finally moved away from Xue Jinyi's face, "Okay." ”
Mrs. Liu's heart was overjoyed, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she hurriedly made an invitation gesture, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please come here." ”
When they came out, the maid brought the decanting soup.
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the King of Chu, you see, the maid in my family will definitely be able to serve Miss Xue well, so don't worry, we will arrange the donation as soon as possible." ”
King Chu nodded and walked forward.
Mrs. Liu looked at his back, looked back at the people in the room, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a cruel smile.
